This Form provides for an outright disposition of the Plan benefit to the surviving spouse. If there is no surviving spouse, the Plan benefit passes to children and other descendants (by right of representation) outright. However, if any child or other descendant has not yet reached age thirty-five, the Plan benefit is directed to be paid to a Trust for the benefit of any person under age thirty-five until that age is reached. The Form provides for two alternative dispositions here – the first to a Trust already created by the participant’s planning (insert an appropriate cross-reference here) - the second alternative establishes a Trust intended to continue until age thirty-five is reached (insert the name of the trustee, a possible successor, and any other desired trust terms here). Note that in both alternatives, the trustee is instructed to comply with the rules addressing required minimum distributions.
